A Dreadful Disaster.

LEON, KY, March 10-When the fast
express train approached the trestle five
miles beyond this place Yesterday after
noon an old lady, Mrs. Baize, and her
twelve-year- old niece, Lucy Justice, were
discovered on the structure. They were
struck by the engine. The child's head
was severed from her body, and one OF
the old lady's legs was broken, besides
she sustained other injuries from which
she cannot recover. No blame is attached
to the engineer, as it was impossible to
stop the train, the distance being so short
when the unfortunates were seen.

The Reported Purchase Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
The air is still flied with runners in
reference to the alleged purchase of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad by the Sully
syndicate.
The following are the latest reports
The meeting Of the Richmond Termi-
nal Executive Committee adjourned to
meet at the call OF Mr.. Sully, but all in
formation is refused as to their action.
The members intimate that they are
pledged to secrecy, and Mr.. Brice is
quoted as saying that the premature pub
lication Of the proposed plan may inter
fere with the accumulation Of the ma jor
ity of the stock which Mr.. Garrett agreed
to deliver. He also stated that he thought
Mr.. Garrett only wanted to make nom
inal sale for the purpose OF amalgamating
the Baltimore and Ohio system with
Richmond Terminal This, Mr.. Brice
says, he is willing, as a director OF the
Terminal Company, to accede TO.
After the adjournment ofthe committee
several OF the directors met and all cir
cumstances so tar ts-dsy confirm the di-
rectors' statement made before the meet
ing was called to order.
NOTHING TO BE LEARNED IN BALTIMORE.
BALTInoRR, March 10-Perfect quiet
pervades, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road building to-day, and but few per
sons have called. Mr. Garrett still says
he has nothing to say. There is rumOr
that q part at least Of the holding of the
Johns Hopkins University has been sold,
but no one in authority will confirm or
deny it.
WHAT A CHICAGO MAN CLAIMS TO KNOW.
CHICAGO, March 10.-A gentleman who
claims to have seen the original cOntrac
for the sale of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is authority for the following
statement: The plan for consolidation
of the various railway interests grew out
of the efforts of Jay Gould to induce
Robert Garrett to pool the business of the
Baltimore ahd Ohio Telegraph Company
with that of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. Mr. Garrett absolutely
refused to become party to such an ar
rangement, and declared that he would
always keep his business under his own
control; that the telegraph and railroad
interests were identical and that they
should continue to be so as long as he
controlled them, but at the same time he
intimated that he was inclined to free
himself of his business cares by the abso-
lutte sale Of a controlling interest in the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which
would carry with it the control OF the
telegraph and the express company.
With this hint as basis the negotla-
tors returned to New York and formed
syndicate composed as follows: Calvin ).
Brice, Alfred Sully, Austin Corbin, John
G. Moore, General Samuel Thomas, ii.
C. Fahnestock, Winslow Lanier d Co.,
and j. B. Pace. A contract was then
framed, in which MI Garrett agreed to
transfer to the syndicate acontrolling IN
terest in the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road within thirty days for $l6,OOO,0OO, a
forfeiture being deposited by Mr. Garrett.
The contract was shown to Mr. Gould on
Saturday. 1t is understood that the tel
egraph business is to go to the Western
Union company and the express business
to the Adams Express company

By Cable to the GLOBE.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Radicals now
cOncede that it will be impossible to
hold a meeting in Trafalgar square to-
morrow. There will, however, I'M
doubtedly be enormous crowds in the
vicinity, but the likelihood of trouble is
not great. Possibly there may be few
scrimmageS, but no attempt will be
made to take the square by storm, nor
will there be any effort to organize and
deliver speeches. The reputation of
the government, and of Sir Charles
Warren as well, rests upon such a sue
ceSSful resistance to any attempt on the
part of the crowd to disregard the pro-
hibitory order, and so far as Trafalgar
square is concerned there will be a for
midable array of government force
and consequently little or no
disposition to test its strength.
Professions, however, will be protected
instead of dubbed, as on last Sunday,
Home Secretary Matthews fearing for
the legality of his position, and the
scene will be transferred to Hyde park,

Counterfeit Money.

DETROIT, Nov. ia special from
Port Huron. Mich, says: For some
time this city, Sarnia, Ont, and the sur
rounding country has been flooded with
bogus metal dollars and nickelS. AT
o'clock this morning the officers who
have been working on the ease drove
out into Kimball township about seven
miles from here, and searched the house
of John Mack, a farmer and blacksmith
who has been arrested twice before for
counterfeiting. They found complete
counterfeiter's outfit, about 500 in
bogus dollars and nickels and some half
finished coin. The officers then made a
search of the house of f. W. Ernest,
about mile distant, where they found
a LAYOUT similar to the one at Mack'S
and a large quantity of bogus coin.
Ernest and his wife were arrested, and
with Mack and his wife, brought here
and lodged in jail. There is supposed
to be a strong case against Port Huron
business man for showing" the stuff.
